Macq, J. (author), Rondão Alface, P. (author), van Brandenburg, R. (author), Niamut, O.A. (author), Prins, M. (author), Verzijp, N. (author)In recent years many developments have addressed the generic objective of delivering audiovisual content based on a single representation made available at the source, and where the network gets the ability to adapt the content on an end user basis. This chapter reviews the different aspects related to format-agnostic delivery. It proposes...bookPart 2014

Vrouwenvelder, A.C.W.M. (author)According to ISO 2394, structures shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a way that they are suited for their use during the design working life in an economic way. To fulfil this requirement one needs insight into the risk and reliability under expected and non-expected actions. A key role in this respect is played by the...conference paper 2014

(author)Background: In epidemiological studies, occupational exposure estimates are often assigned through linkage of job histories to job-exposure matrices (JEMs). However, available JEMs may have a coding system incompatible with the coding system used to code the job histories, necessitating a translation of the originally assigned job codes. Since...article 2013

Abadjieva, E. (author), Khoe, Y.S. (author)The interaction of thin ceramic tiles with AP8 (WC core, 7,62 mm) at 1000 m/s velocity has been studied experimentally and numerically. “Thin” ceramic tiles refers here to ratio of the tile thickness (t) to the projectile diameter, (d), t/d@ 1, as they are both in the same order. The method applied to visualize the penetration dynamics has been...conference paper 2013

Bigaj-van Vliet, A. (author), Vrouwenvelder, T. (author)The design philosophy of the new fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 represents the state of the art with regard to performance-based approach to the design and assessment of concrete structures. Given the random nature of quantities determining structural behaviour, the assessment of structural performance cannot be well established by...article 2013

Damoni, C. (author), Belletti, B. (author), Lilliu, G. (author)In this paper the behavior of a squat shear wall subjected to monotonic shear loading is investigated. The study fits into the experimental program driven by CEOS.fr on modeling of the behavior of the tested mocks-ups (monotonic and cycling loading-under prevented or free shrinkage). The shear wall has been analyzed with nonlinear finite element...conference paper 2013

Veugen, P.J.M. (author), Stokking, H.M. (author)We develop an architecture for a federation of home gateways. We distinguish inner and outer circle friends and describe a mechanism for social-aware backup of content and sharing with friends. To facilitate remote access, content can be segmented and redundantly stored at gateways of friends. We develop innovative solutions that allow secure...conference paper 2013

Fonseca, R.M. (author), Leeuwenburgh, O. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)In a recent study two hierarchical multi-objective methods were suggested to include short-term targets in life-cycle production optimization. However this previous study has two limitations: 1) the adjoint formulation is used to obtain gradient information, requiring simulator source code access and an extensive implementation effort, and 2)...conference paper 2012

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), Vervuurt, A.H.J.M. (author)EN 13791 applies when assessing the in situ compressive strength of structures and precast concrete components. According to the code itself, it may be adopted when doubt arises about the compressive strength of a concrete. For assessing the structural safety of existing structures, however, the method given in EN 13791 does not seem to be...article 2012

Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), Koster, T. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)Since 2006, a number of countries developed reports on climate change following the IPCC 4th assessment reports. For the Netherlands, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) presented four new climate scenarios. Typically, climate change is described in terms of average changes, but much of the social and economic costs associated...article 2012

Rahman, T. (author), Jansen, E.L. (author), Tiso, P. (author)In this paper, a finite element-based approach for nonlinear vibration analysis of shell structures is presented. The approach makes use of a perturbation method that gives an approximation for the amplitude-frequency relation of the structure. The method is formulated using a functional notation and is subsequently converted to a finite element...article 2011

(author)Message Authentication Codes (MACs) are widely used in order to authenticate data packets, which are transmitted thought networks. Typically MACs are implemented using modules like hash functions and in conjunction with encryption algorithms (like Block Ciphers), which are used to encrypt the transmitted data. However NIST in May 2005 issued a...article 2011

Box 8550, 5605KN Eindhoven, Netherlands (author)Data rates of plastic transponder chips have been limited to a few kHz, limited by the inherent low mobility of organic semiconductors. However, a target application for plastic RFID tags is Electronic Product Coding (EPC), which will require, at a base carrier frequency fc = 13.56 MHz, a data rate of fc/512 = 52.969 kb/s. In this work, we show...article 2010
